Wanna buy the Hauppauge PVR 2 model 1480 to record PS4 gameplay in 1080P... and looking at buying it this week since it's on sale here in the USA on Amazon from $199 all the way down to $129. Good price!

- But according to the Q&A on the PSBlog for the PS4, there is a patch that will make the HMDI out work with
such recording devices...

I assume that patch is NOT out yet.. or what addressed in the 1.50 patch that I downloaded and installed when I set my PS4 up?

Will do. I think I'm gonna go ahead and order the model 1480 PVR 2 from Amazon since it looks like a good price. It's the model 1480, Gaming edition. Can you see any reason why I'd want to spend more (around $160) to buy one of the other two models PVR 2 from Hauppauge?

Thanks for your help.. and let us know about your experience when it arrives for you as well please!

- Did you also order the Hauppauge PVR 2 Model 1480? If not, which one did you get and why did you choose it instead of the model 1480?

Definitely do NOT buy the one I bought. It was completely different from the actual product page. It DOESN'T work. I ordered another unit, the viewHD "version". That will be here tomorrow lol. I already got a return auth on this plastic crap I received; instead of the metal casing, working unit that I saw on the product page.

I just ordered the PVR 2 model 1480 today, 2 day shipping but says it will be here tomorrow. Hope my 4 year old splitter works, heh.

I actually snagged an early Black Friday Sale price on the Hauppauge 1480 PVR2 for only $120. (Regular $199.99) Seemed like a good price so I jumped on it.

Hopefully I can get it to work tomorrow, I will post my results here.

Yours should work. We'll see. I bought one as well, and it will be here tomorrow. Nice price on the PVR2. I have the Elgato, which is freakin' awesome. I might pick up the PVR2 for a backup, for such a good price and all.

My splitter isn't what it was supposed to be. Hopefully the one I'll get, similar to yours, will work fine. I saw a few yt videos that uses the same one I bought, and what you have.

Ok, I'm narrowing it down to maybe my HDMI cables aren't up to snuff. This new viewHD isn't working when sending the signal to the Elgato. I'm running up town real quick to get some high speed (newer) HDMI cables. These I have might not be compliant or something lol.

Well... If I run the PS4 to the input on the splitter, the out from splitter to both my TV and to my PC monitor, I see BOTH displays showing the PS4 display at the same time, both perfect picture. ....Wouldn't that tell me that not only is my splitter working great but also that it is HDCP compliant? (ie stripping Sony's copy protection off)... and that it should work?

I've rebooted my PC after updating the PVR2 driver, I've tried everything I can think of, swapped all the HDMI cords out to make sure they all work (ie from splitter to tv) and I am out of ideas.

Surely the PVR2, brand new isn't faulty. After all, it works just fine when I hook up my PS3 to it using the component cables and adapter included. I get video on my TV and on the SAME hauppauge recording software.

I have a hard time believing the PVR2 is bad. But I don't know what else it could be... Hmmmm.

..So the splitter I have works splitting the PS4 video to my PC monitor and my TV because neither the monitor nor the TV have any risk of recording the content as my PC??

I agree with you that the HDMI splitter is the likely culprit here... I just thought it might be fine since it splits the PS4 video perfectly to both my TV and my PC monitor... but that doesn't mean it's striping the HDCP huh?

So, I assume that you are having issues very similar to what I am seeing as well.

I can only assume that I need to get a different splitter because no matter how I run my HDMI cables from my PS4 thru the splitter to the PVR2, all I get on my PC is a black screen, but my PS3 running directly to the PVR2 with the included cords and adapter works flawlessly. That pretty much singles out the splitter as the problem.

Naturally, the OREI model splitter that I want is sold out on Amazon. I don't trust ordering it through their 3rd party distributor, so I will just wait until Amazon gets them back in stock. *(I'm pretty sure that was the deal with I first ordered this splitter years ago through Amazon. I went through one of their partners and the splitter I received didn't match the photos, didn't have the name brand on it and looked just like a generic model splitter. So now days I don't trust the partners on Amazon. If it don't come from "Amazon" I don't usually buy it)*

Patience is bliss... or maddening. LoL.

Yeah, I'm pretty annoyed and frustrated that it isn't working properly. I have one more option in the morning and then I'll just have to wait until Sony patches this $#@! so it'll work without having to work around the restrictions.

I feel your pain brother, been messing with this far too long today. Two to three hours trying to make something work that should take 10 minutes and it still don't work is definitely frustrating. - I can only hope my conclusion that I need a different splitter is the answer, lol.

Have you tested the setup on your PS3 (if you still got it) to test the hardware is workinh fine? If works on PS3 its just a case of swaping PS3 to your PS4, if that dont work than i guess the PS4 is doing more than we think.
